<p>I was re-reading/checking some parts of the guide and in particular I always have the same feeling about the Contributing to Rust whole section, from chapter 6 to 18</p>

<p>so we guide can be more about how the compiler works with a nice section about contributing but not soooo deep and with a lot of things that are not a must to understand how the compiler works or how to even contribute</p>
